click on the link in my sig.It will take you to smfarcade.Click on the downloads and get the games from there.

So nobody knows how to add avatars next to usernames or display games in more than one column?

What is the problem if some games you can play (because the screen actually shows up) and other games that don't show up? Out of 10 gamepacks, I can only play/ see 2 games out of gamepack 13.

Take a look at the name of the game in admin>games>click on a game and look at the game info and see if theres a .swf at the end of the name.If there is it sounds like the games didn't install correctly.

Here is an error I found in the forum logs:

http://usmc-warriors.org/forum/index.php?action=managegames;sa=install

Apply Filter: Only show the errors with the same message
8: getimagesize() [<a href='function.getimagesize'>function.getimagesize</a>]: The image is a compressed SWF file, but you do not have a static version of the zlib extension enabled.

Almost all of the games are .swf

look in the Games folder on your server (using ftp or CPanel)
are the games that dont work in zips but not loose.

one possibility is that your server doesnt support using files from within zips.

if this is the case unzipping them and pointing the games settings to the unzipped version should fix the problem.

[SgtMic]

I have the zip files as well as folders that have corresponding numbers.

Found the answer. It has everything to do with my host.

Hello,

Thank you for the update.

The issue is caused because the games you have installed require zlib to be compiled as "--enable-static=zlib". Unfortunately this is not available on our Shared Linux hosting servers.

If you would like to have custom php support compiled for your account(s) we may offer you VPS and Dedicated Servers upgrades as possible solution. These server will offer your dedicated resources for your website and also the option for custom settings.

Note that we cannot recompile the php on this server because it will effect all the accounts on the server which we cannot allow. The new settings may cause large number of the websites on this server to malfunctions.

Also you may contact the developers of the application you are using and to ask them to recreate it for your website.

If you have any other questions or comments please do not hesitate to contact us.

[DrizzetPheonix]

Um .... I can't seem to download it .... just comes up with blank page and does not do anything when I use the version on this site... is there another source. This confuses me because other downloads are working.

Not uncommon right now sine the crash.


Rider, Either I can find another host, get a vps or a dedicated server. At least now I/ we know what the problem was.

Probaly cheaper to find another host.Not sure on the cost of vps but dedicated servers can be costly.Sorry I couldn't help but let us know how you make out.

[SgtMic]

I saw a few other replies in this thread with the same problem. Maybe they can get contact their hosts and see if they can help.

I do have arcade installed on another forum (a dedicated server) and it is a hit. The members spend enormous amounts of time playing.

You do not need vps or dedicated to run the arcade. 1000's of users run the arcade with shared (including myself) with no problems. Here is the zlib site: http://www.zlib.net/

Your host does not want to install zlib for some reason or another. This will also cause problems with other mods that are compressed. I'd ask why they do not wish to do this install another library that will use compressed files which are very common for websites.
